The scheme about }emptying your bank accounts is a joke (read the papers about how the RTC }has recovered billions from savings and loan officers who tried to do it), }and there's a neat thing judges can order called garnishing every paycheck }for the rest of your life. Obviously, part of rendering myself judgement-proof involves quitting my job. A multi-million dollar judgement-- INSURANCE OR NO INSURANCE-- means either poverty or slavery or both. -- Matthew T.
